to think that too many people are falsely accused of stealth boasting on MN?

My housekeeper and personal assistant agree with me btw.

YABU

Your boasting is not stealth, it is overt.

My pool cleaner and towel attendant don't agree but my nanny, housemaid and butler do.

My driver assures me I don't do this and he is always right

I will get back to you when I have finished choosing a new cocktail shaker for the yacht.

My 6 hour old dd agrees too, most vehemently, in complex sentences with multiple syllable words. Having a gifted child is such a bind.

YABU. I had this exact conversation with our au pair on the flight to our two-month holiday in Hawaii last Summer and she agreed that I was right.

My G&T child agrees with you as well. So does the accountant we employ to handle the disposable income. The gardener is on the fence, so to speak.

I agree - thread only brought to my attention by toilet seat warmer (obviously one for every WC and bathroom).

I'm more of an overt boaster round here too. Encouraged by DP, we are achingly modest & discrete IRL so if I didn't have MN to boast all over, I'd BURST with concealed marvellousness.

There is a slightly serious side to the thread too. I once got accused of stealth boasting because I said I bought olives and hummous in a supermarket thread.

Be honest now, did you say 'supermarket', or did you say 'Waitrose'? Hmm?

Not sure Veronica. Anyway must dash to get back for my Ocado delivery.

I was accused of stealth boasting when I mentioned what a random collection of food DD had nicked off our plates at a lunch out. I couldn't be arsed to point out that as she is 16 months old she is unaware of what is exotic, and what is 'normal' food for babies...as such it wasn't hugely impressive that she ate whatever was in grabbing distance. Hardly something I should be proud of...what have I achieved exactly?

Anyhoo, I think I am going to go down the blatant route from now on.
